The advan - tage of a quick-to-employ first shot with 15 rounds available for use before reloading made it ideal as a self-defense pistol as well. The development of a 9mm handgun with increased magazine capacity began as far back as August 1964 at Smith & Wesson. It was to be based on the mechanism of the 8-round single-stack maga - zine double-action Model 39 (which had been in production since December 1954). Seeing a possible need for a similar gun with greater magazine capacity for police and military usage, S&W crafted two virtually hand-made experimental models. These used double-stack staggered-round 9mm magazines. However, “In 1968, because of other pressing projects, these two guns were put on the back burner for a while.

They certain - ly grasped the importance of its high-capacity magazine. A couple of spares could provide 28 rounds of additional ammo, easily carried on the duty belt ready for quick reloading. Some agencies used them with ball ammunition. Although hollow point rounds were available, most of those early ones did not expand reliably. The 9mm round thus had a relatively poor repu - tation at that time compared to .45s. Today, however, 9mm hollow points have evolved to give great expan - sion and performance as self-defense ammunition. About 1979, S&W provided some upgrades for police departments involving a new extractor and spring design, together with a re-designed guide rod, barrel bushing and an improved magazine follower. This police magazine follower, allowing 15 rounds in the magazine, had four legs on it for smoother feeding. To indicate the upgrades on these guns, a punch mark on the front of the extractor was applied. Most com - plaints about the Model 59s, and there were a The estimated few, centered on the magazine.

Springfield Armory ( springfieldarmory.com ) was showing off a 1911-style .380 pocket pistol that differs from most of the competition in that it has an enlarged trigger guard and an ambidextrous safety, so it can be carried safely in Condition One, even by southpaws.
